THE trash talk is done – Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov face off at UFC 229 tonight.
It will be McGregor’s first UFC fight since 2016 following his mega bucks boxing cameo against Floyd Mayweather last year. His opponent Khabib – who is defending his UFC lightweight title – is yet to taste defeat, however…
When is McGregor vs Khabib and what time does fight start?
The huge Las Vegas fight is on tonight – Saturday October 6.
Depending on the length of the 11 undercard bouts, it is expected the main event will get underway from around 4am UK time.
Sin City’s T-Mobile Arena hosts the event. It is the same arena that McGregor lost to Mayweather in 2017.
What belts are on the line?
Khabib’s UFC lightweight title will be up for grabs tonight.
McGregor was stripped of the 155lb title in April because of inactivity.

Fight prediction
Wally Downes, SunSport Boxing Correspondent
A points or late Khabib win looks the most likely outcome but that would mean Las Vegas and the UFC get their golden goose knocked off his perch.
Draws are hugely rare in the UFC and would usually need a point deduction or a 10-8 round.
But, as we have seen in boxing recently, strange things can happen when the biggest roller is in Sin City and a rematch can line plenty more pockets for everyone involved.

What have they said?
Khabib [on how he sees the fight going]: “Maybe. Maybe decision. Maybe I’m gonna finish him. But all the time when he’s tired, he gives up. This is all the time. Like before fights, he talks like ‘I’m ready for this, I’m ready for this,’ when he fight with Diaz, when he fight with Mayweather. But when he’s tired he gives up all the time.”
McGregor: “He may have wrestled Dagestani bears but he has never wrestled a Irish gorilla and that’s what he’s about to face on Saturday night.
“I believe he’s slow, he’s flat footed, his striking is very average and I look to expose that.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
